I would call it silly if so many people were not getting scared about it.
One of several Mayan calendars is the Long Count calendar, which is reset to day 0 every 1,872,000 days or 7057.5 years. The next reset date, by some calculations, is December 21, 2012. This is not a prediction of the end of the world.
These predictions are scare tactics, conspiracy theories, and chances to make money from books and movies.
Ever since the Y2K and 6/6/6 (June 6, 2006) End of the World scenarios did not pan out, the scare mongers, conspiracy theorists, book sellers, and television executives have been touting the 2012 End of the World scenario. When 2012 does not happen either, I am sure they will think of something else.
“But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come.” (Mark 13:32-33)
Jesus told us in no uncertain terms that we were not to know when the end of the world would come but that we were always to be ready.
The early Christian Church thought that Jesus was going to return at any moment. Only after a couple of centuries did the Church realize that it may be 2,000 or 4,000 or 8,000 years before Jesus returns.
The Catholic Church wisely follows Jesus’ advice and teaches that each of us should live as if we will meet our maker in the next ten minutes and that we need to work to make the world a better place for our 100 X great-grandchildren.
Do not worry about the end of the world. Trust God to make sure everything happens to plan. Just be ready to meet God at any time.

They say the world will end, or serious earthy disasters will happen. but the only reason they are saying this is because of the Aztec calendar.
December 21, 2012 is the day the Aztec calendar ends..
so it is pretty much not true
i dont believe in it.

{{its good to be optimistic}} XD
Ya right, just like Y2K was suppose to happen. I bet all those people who bought up tons of batteries, water, etc… felt pretty stupid after nothing happened. At least they will be prepared for 2012. It’s a load of crap. It’s all about profiting off of the fear of people. The future is unknown and it is so easy for people to be afraid of the unknown.
We will see.
I do believe the scientific part of it though. However, what will happen is uncertain I guess, Noone can see into the future.

2012 (MMXII) will be a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.
Not true. Any so-called “research” will benefit the “sellers”.

I’m gonna laugh at the believers on December 22
